Denmark-based shipping company MH Simonsen has placed an order for eight
hybrid-electric methanol dual-fuel chemical tankers at China’s Jiangxi New
Jiangzhou Shipbuilding.
As
informed, the shipbuilder will construct eight 6,800-ton IMO type
II stainless steel tankers. The
vessels will be equipped with fourteen stainless steel cargo tanks. Some of
the characteristics that the ships will include are wide cargo loading,
environmentally friendly technology, smart operation, and vibration and noise
reduction.
The
electric propulsion unit will come with two DC low-speed permanent magnet (PM)
motors to power the ships. The tankers will be able to sail on methanol thanks
to the methanol dual-fuel tanks. An
independent energy storage unit has been added to ensure that the ships can
still sail safely even if they lose power, according to the Chinese shipyard.
The
contract, which was signed on April 23, 2024, represents a major milestone for
reborn Jiangxi New Jiangzhou Shipbuilding. This is the first time the shipyard
will build methanol dual-fuel vessels. The company currently has more than 20
ships on order.
Meanwhile,
for MH Simonsen, this is the first order placed at a shipyard in China. The
shipping company was established back in 1931. The family-owned business owns and operates a fleet of fourteen
tankers, data on the company’s website show. The vessels range from 2,000 dwt
to 7,000 dwt.
The
tankers are primarily engaged in the European small tanker market. The
majority are employed in the transportation of easy chemicals like vegetable
oils, fats, molasses, ethanol, FAME, APP and UAN.
